Your questions about sink repair in Hemsted
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What affects the price in Hemsted
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
